Heart rate monitoring and estimation is essential parameter in biomedical engineering and medicine. The heartbeat rate change would affect directly to the physiological/ pathological state (mood, stress, behaviour) of a person. The estimation of heart rate is an important factor to determine the pathological and physiological state of a person/individual.
